Well, last summer, my husband found a black widow outside our front door. Instead of killing her, he decided to put her in the bottle and make me babysit her. It was the hardest thing to do, but for three days, I dealt with having a black widow in our house. At night, I made it sleep outside because I didn't want it magically unscrewing the lid off and getting in the house. I ended up naming her Charlotte, so she wouldn't seem as scary. But...I'm still afraid of spiders and I'll scream if I see one! (Just ask Ouisa!)

I remember the Kevlar!

I'm impressed he caught the thing, actually. I don't like spiders, but I wouldn't go as far to say I have a phobia of them - sure I squirm, but I'm... er... okay... I guess.

But even babysitting a black widow would scare the crap out of me. I'm impressed you made it through! You're my hero now. Next time I start having a panic attack around a boy, I'll think "Jenni did it with the spider, I can do it with the boy." (And no, we're not in the gutter. :p)

She used to be human, and then it changed. How did she die? Why did she meet James? One couple’s unlikely love story is another person’s untimely tragedy. AshesRen's newest story!
